Can't say I'm surprised tbh.

Racing 230 bhp / 160 kg superbikes round a foot path on the moors was always going to invite problems to be fair.

Alot of big name road racers and teams weren't touching it with a barge pole and tbh I don't blame them. I wouldn't fancy racing there either. The TT Mountain course can be brutal but that looked suicide.

I thought the circuit looked reasonably safe as Mr Plater said in the video of the lap there are no buildings or stone walls and very few trees , it did look a bit narrow in places but then so is Cadwell , I am a little disappointed it's not going to happen , hopefully they can resolve whatever issues are preventing it from taking place.

Due to a Road Traffic act change of legislation apparently! Surely they must have known this was going to happen and acted before it went through or was/is it all a pipe dream?
Lots of people must have booked Hotels, camping etc, the ticket cost should be refunded but hotels probably not so Wales will still be busy the first week in August!
